The idea is to introduce guests to a host of new gins, pairing them up with their perfect match by the end of the evening.

Carl, who spearheaded the opening of the Jekyll and Hyde gin parlour and is now a brand ambassador for Birmingham’s Langleys No.8, is inviting representatives from a selection of contemporary gin brands (and tonics too) to bring their top tipples.

At Bar Opus guests will move from table to table where the gin reps will have two minutes each to convince them that they are a perfect drinking companion.

For your £20 you’ll get a signature cocktail on arrival, a martini masterclass, samples during the speed dates, Bar Opus canapes and a one in 36 chance of winning a hamper of gin goodies at the end of the night.
